Notebook users will get their first crack at Intel's new Core 2 Duo chip starting on Monday in the US, as the chipmaker unveils the final instalment of its architectural shift.
Toshiba has updated its business and consumer notebook line-up introducing models with Intel's Centrino Pro platform and Core 2 Duo processors.
Toshiba has announced a model of its Dynabook SS RX notebook including a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD), making it twice the size of the SSD offered on latest notebooks from its competitors: the MacBook Air and the Lenovo X300.
Intel has confirmed plans to ship its next-generation wireless chips ahead of its previous schedule for bringing 802.11n wireless to its Centrino program.
Transmeta, the chip designer that once tried to take on Intel in the notebook market, is suing Intel for patent infringement.
Toshiba's updated R500 is a remarkably compact and complete machine, making it ideal for business travellers. However, at $3,300 you are paying extra for the privilege of a lighter load, and the screen is a little flimsy.
Toshiba, who built one of the world's first notebooks, clearly has a head start in the race to put a laptop on every desk. The AU$1,210 Satellite M300 is a step in the right direction, being a modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price.
If you want performance in a desktop replacement form factor then the Toshiba Satellite P200 is a good option, if not a particularly stylish one.
The P4 strikes us as a good, reliable machine with plenty of features. Despite its conservative appearance there is modern technology inside, providing solid performance.
Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.
